QUESTION: What is carbonic maceration coffee? I just saw an ad for some and I don’t even know what to think that is. – Paul S
ANSWER: Carbonic maceration is actually a wine making technique that has been around a long time that was adapted for coffee processing. It’s also sometimes called anaerobic fermentation. That means that the coffee beans are fermented without oxygen. Ripe coffee cherries are placed inside a hermetically sealed stainless steel tank and left to undergo an anaerobic fermentation. Such fermentation process brings out a more intense aroma and flavor, according to the companies that sell this type of coffee.
The latte and a cup of coffee are two of the world’s most popular hot beverages. Each drink is a great choice for a caffeine boost to get your day started the right way. But what is the difference between the two drinks? Is it just steamed milk? What’s the difference between a latte and a cappuccino? Which drink is better, regular coffee, or the latte? We’re here to answer all of these questions for you, and to help you decide which drink to order when you need a caffeinated drink to get your day started right.
Here’s the shortest answer. A latte is just a shot of espresso into a mug of steamed milk. Espresso is a concentrated form of coffee that comes in small “shots.” Coffee is when you brew ground up coffee beans in hot water and run it through a filter.
You can add milk to coffee if you want, but it’s only a latte if you use an espresso shot and steamed milk. If you use coffee and steamed milk it is called a café au lait. A café au lait tastes similar to a latte, but they are slightly different since one uses regular coffee and the other a concentrated espresso shot.

Coffee and tea are the two most popular hot beverages in the world, but most people prefer one to the other. Sure, there are people who enjoy both, but even those folks tend to have a favorite. It’s like the Beatles and Elvis, you can appreciate both artists for different reasons, but most people have a clear and distinct preference of one over the other.
Coffee and tea cause the same kind of division, and it is a rarity for someone to consume equal amounts of each beverage. It seems that there are two types of people in this world, coffee people, and tea people. Sure, there are some that don’t like either beverage, but there’s no pleasing those types of people, so let’s pretend they don’t exist.
What’s the main difference between instant coffee and ground coffee? Ground coffee is literally ground up coffee beans. You need to pour hot water over them and then run the mixture through a filter, which creates coffee. Instant coffee, however, is a type of dissolvable coffee made from brewed coffee beans.
With instant coffee, manufacturers brew the coffee in advance, and either freeze dry it or spray it in a fine mist through very hot, very dry air to turn brewed coffee into a powder. This powder then dissolves if you add it to hot water later to make a cup of coffee. It doesn’t need to be filtered again, because you’re just adding the water back to coffee that was already brewed.
You’ve probably had a cup of instant coffee at some point in your life and have completely erased the treacherous experience from your memory due to the bitterness, the flatness, the staleness, or some other flaw that could not be overlooked which haunted your first experience with instant coffee.
For many coffee drinkers, the first experience with instant coffee is the only experience they have, as regrettable experiences are not often revisited for reevaluation. However, a lot of new advancements have been made in the world of instant coffee and considerable efforts have been made towards creating an instant coffee that does not cause people to black it out of their memory.
Instant coffee, in a pinch, can provide users with a coffee-like experience and a boost of caffeine-fueled energy to help them take on their day when regular coffee is not available. Instant coffee is, in a way, ground coffee, after it has undergone chemical changes and reconstitution. Instant coffee is made from ground coffee that is brewed and extracted into liquid form, then dehydrated and changed into a solid form in order to prolong its shelf life, ruin its flavor and body, and flatten out its complexity.
When the temperatures soar in summer, many coffee drinkers look to iced coffee drinks instead of their favorite hot coffee beverages. But should you stock up on iced coffee or cold brew this summer? What’s the difference between the two? Which one is right for you? The answers to all these questions and more will be answered right here in this article.
Though indistinguishable to the naked eye, an Americano and a cup of coffee are two wholly different things, down to the ingredients that they are made of. Americanos are made from a double shot of espresso and hot water, while coffee is brewed using an extraction process involving coffee grounds and hot water.
If you have ever tasted a shot of espresso, as well as a cup of coffee, you are very aware of the difference between the two drinks in terms of strength and flavor. The difference between the flavor of the Americano and regular coffee is the same way, but the difference in strength is more equally matched.
Pour over coffee is a way to make a light, bright, and nuanced cup of coffee in a simple way that involves no electricity and a hands-on brewing style that is easy to learn and master. The pour over technique is not as easy as making coffee with an electric drip machine. Electric drip coffee makers just require that you add in some grounds, pour some water into the reservoir tank and press a button, and the machine handles all the rest.
When making pour over coffee, you are in charge of every aspect of the coffee making process. This includes the amount of grounds and water you use, the temperature and quality of the water you choose, the size of the grounds, the speed of your pour, and more. But don’t worry, we’ll break everything down for you so that you will be making high quality pour over coffee in no time.
Coffee filters not only help strain the coffee from your ground coffee beans, they also keep some harmful compounds out of your brew, such as cafestol, which raises LDL (bad) cholesterol levels which can increase your risk of heart disease. But what kind of filter should you use? There are so many different coffee filter options available to consumers that many people don’t know where to start.
There are different kinds of filters that are suitable to certain brewing techniques, or coffee making machines. There are different shaped filters and filters made from different kinds of materials. There are disposable filters that are to be tossed out after a single use, and reusable filters that can brew up to 2000 cups of coffee before needing to be replaced.
